Thank you
Regrads
Hello,
I have successfully installed the plugin, and first of all, I would like to thank you for the great work and the support so far.
I have a few technical questions and would really appreciate your clarification if possible:
Displaying the total number of packages
I would like to display the total number of packages stored in the database at the bottom of the page, next to the pagination controls.
I have already implemented this programmatically as a custom solution, but my question is:
Is there any built-in feature in WP Download Manager or the Archive Page add-on that allows displaying the total number of packages directly, without custom coding?
Changing the background color of the Loading button
Currently, the Loading button appears with a red background.
I tried changing the color using CSS, but it did not work as expected.
Is there a recommended setting, class, or hook to properly change the button background color in a way that is compatible with future updates?
Scrolling to the top when changing pages
When clicking on the pagination buttons at the bottom (for example, going to page 2), the page does not automatically scroll back to the top.
Is there a built-in option or feature to enable automatic scrolling to the top when navigating between pages?
Templates and responsiveness (desktop & mobile)
I tested most of the available templates, but I could not find one that works well on both desktop and mobile, as smoothly as the old layout I previously used.
For reference:
Old page:
New page:

Is there a recommended template or specific configuration that could help achieve a similar level of responsiveness and usability?
Thank you very much for your time and support.
I look forward to your reply.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your detailed reply and clarification. We appreciate your support.
Regarding localization, I would like to clarify my question further.
What I meant is not a full site translation, but rather translating specific interface labels and UI strings only.
For example, on this page:
You can see that labels such as:
Search
Order by
Title
Download count
Publish date
are displayed in Arabic, while keeping the overall layout unchanged.
Additionally, regarding The Archive Page (Compact layout) add-on:
When purchasing and activating this add-on:
Will it automatically integrate with the existing Download Manager library and pagination?
Or are there additional setup or linking steps required to make the library appear as it does on the page above, with proper pagination buttons?
We would like to ensure that the transition (if any) is smooth and does not require rebuilding the library structure manually.
Thank you again for your help and guidance.

Hi,
Thank you for your support.
After debugging, we identified a technical issue affecting pagination and data loading in the Datatable / Gutenberg block.
1) Vue 2 / Vue 3 conflict
The plugin currently mixes Vue 3 syntax (Vue.createApp) with Vue 2 components (e.g. vuejs-paginate@2.x).
This causes JavaScript to break in Firefox and mobile browsers, resulting in missing pagination and no data loading on mobile.
Could you please confirm:
Which Vue version is officially supported?
Whether a fully Vue 3–compatible pagination solution is planned?
2) Archive Page Compact
If we switch to The Archive Page Compact, will it:
Use a different pagination mechanism?
Avoid the Vue 2 / Vue 3 conflict?
Restore stable pagination across all browsers and mobile devices?
3) Localization
Does the plugin fully support WordPress localization (__(), .po / .mo) so interface strings (Order by, Ascending/Descending, Search, Total items found) can be translated, or are some strings hard-coded?
4) License
Is annual license renewal required for the plugin to keep working, or only for updates and support?
Thank you for your clarification.
Best regards,
Hi again,
I’m contacting you regarding an issue with the “All Downloads Table” block in WP Download Manager.
The toolbar at the top is working correctly, but the pagination buttons at the bottom of the table have disappeared, even though they used to work normally on my website (https://www.qenshrin.com/ebooks). I did not change any settings related to pagination, and “Pagination = Show” is still enabled in the block options.
What do you recommend to fix this issue that suddenly appeared?
Thank you very much for your help and clarification.
Best regards,
Thank you for the clarification. I will try that and let you know the result.
Regards.
Hello,
I understand your point, the shortcode [wpdm_all_packages] has its own default interface.
However, I believe that this interface is quite limited because it does not provide the option to filter by category using a dropdown selection.
I know that your current system allows category filtering by clicking, but the downside of this approach is that when there are many categories, most of them will not appear on the main view.
More importantly, when using [wpdm_all_packages], the system tries to load all records at once, which causes heavy load and sometimes fails to open the page.
For example, we currently have over 5,000 records, and when the page is loaded, it can take more than a minute or even show a “failed to load” message.
Ideally, it would be better if only the first 20 records were loaded initially, and when the visitor clicks “Next,” the next set of results is loaded, this would make the experience much faster.
Do you have any customized toolbar or optimized solution that can handle this scenario, where pagination and category filtering can work together efficiently for large datasets?
Thank you
Dear Tahasin,
We knew that, but the problem as we told you is … we need the category filter and search bar at the top, as shown in this link:

Thanks
Hello again,
I tried adding jstable=1 inside the shortcode as you suggested, but unfortunately, the page does not load at all when this parameter is enabled.
You can check the test page here:
Hello again,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I tested the shortcode you provided.
You can check the test page here:

But what we need is to restore the search bar and the category dropdown above the table, exactly as they appear on our main library page:
Could you please guide us on how to enable both the pagination and the toolbar (search + category) together, as it was working before?
Thank you for your time and help,
Pierre
Thank you so much Nayeem,
